It is pretty huge for breeders not to vaccinate pups at least once prior to placement in their for-ever homes.
Can titers on all the pups truly tell us that the puppy is protected against the big three? Pavro Distemper Rabies? How reliable are titers on 7 or 8 wk old pups?
As titers need a blood draw what about the toy breeds? Can you safely draw blood from a 1.5 lb pup?
I do titer my older dogs, but they have all had their puppy shots, and "safe" update on their vaccines.
Like most folks even though I am a breeder, I am quite frankly scared of letting a puppy out of my home without any core vaccines. Usually we place the large breeds at 8wks old.
